Originally known as 'Lords Hill', in 1807 the Connecticut Asylum for the Deaf was founded and for one hundred years, provided services to the deaf. The institution relocated to its present home in West Hartford, whereupon it became the American School for the Deaf.
A commemorative statue (located at the intersection of Farmington and Asylum Avenues) of a young girl standing on oversized open hands pays tribute to the institution which gave Asylum Hill its name.
The neighborhood is bounded on the north by a railroad line to Bloomfield, on the east and south by Interstate-84 and the New Haven Railroad, and on the west by the north branch of the Park River.
